Cristian Marussi c7821c2d9c firmware: arm_scmi: Fix locking in notifications
When a protocol registers its events, the notification core takes care
to rescan the hashtable of pending event handlers and activate all the
possibly existent handlers referring to any of the events that are just
registered by the new protocol. When a pending handler becomes active
the core requests and enables the corresponding events in the SCMI
firmware.

If, for whatever reason, the enable fails, such invalid event handler
must be finally removed and freed. Let us ensure to use the
scmi_put_active_handler() helper which handles properly the needed
additional locking.

Failing to properly acquire all the needed mutexes exposes a race that
leads to the following splat being observed:

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
